Pros

Nice co-workers, That is it!!!

Cons

Choose better managers, not possible have as leaders incompetent people. People that during your job interview say something and after when you start do and say exactly the opposite, just be truth will help you to really grow otherwise you will not go so far away. The product is good and it works well, but not possible that it takes so long to set up it, specially because it depends from the client and not by you, but in the meantime despite that your target keep running and the company doesn't really think about it, they just put pressure on you that you have a target to respect and if you don't do that you are out. Company generally disorganized at least in Barcelona, there is no a proper training, thing really important, specially in Sales, because you cannot start to call prospects immediately, at your third day,without being trained properly, before you should know well the product and your competitors on the market, we shouldn't be a call center but inside sales. This is not the right position if you like 9-17/18 working hours. people leave also around 8, working/life balance there isn't.

Frustrated Sales Manager

Pros

People are great to work with and that's it

Cons

No leadership at all whatsoever, no direction or advice from superiors. Product works well but is very difficult to sell due to the fact that it can take up to a month (an longer) to integrate tags and working procedures. Very high pressure so if Sales goals are not met then you are out. No matter how good you are at selling your job depends entirely on how fast the client can setup procedures on their end and not yourself. As it is a very detailed system for re-targeting it is sometimes very complex to setup on the clients end, competitors such has Adroll have a huge advantage here. After getting the client to sign an IO it is still a long road to actually get them to start generating revenue and counting towards your sales target. This again means that you have no control on your sales targets. For example you could sign a client in Q1 and they might not even be up and running and generating gross until way into the next Q sometimes longer. Looks like a great job on the package and how the office looks with the pool tables, PS4s, Nespresso coffee machines and medical card benefits. However none of this bright packing can take anything away from the fact that deep down everyone who works there is feeling the huge amount of pressure due to the do or die approach of management and the immense pressure they pour on you. My advice to anyone who is starting there would be to think of your targets in 2 or 3 sales quarters in advance that is the only way you will succeed.
